When you go on a night hike and carry a flashlight only used to see while changing the batteries in your primary light as well as another flashlight who's only uses are to hold the spare batteries of your primary light and finish off the dead batteries from the primary light.

The first thing you do after charging the Eneloop AAs in your Fenix TK40 is...
Turn it on (on turbo strobe,no less..) and point it at a mirror.
(Then you wonder what light to use to find the nearest set of welding goggles..Ow,my eyes!!)

You read a thread about a Lego key chain light and have to run to REI and get one.
These l'il propane tank heads crack me up.

At least you won't look nearly as goofy using that flashlight as you would if you bought the headlight version:http://www.rei.com/product/796685
What were they thinking when they made that thing? Is the gag gift market large enough to warrant making this product? The only way to make it more embarrassing for the headlight user is if you take off or cover up the last three letters in LEGO.

You're at the endodontist's having a root canal retreated, and the doctor can't get enough illumination into the open canal of the tooth, so you turn on your modded ARC AAA, set it to the brightest level, hand it to the assistant who then points it in your mouth, prompting the doctor to say, "that's much bettter."

PS: Just tell your wife/girlfriend that the electrical contact or wiring in the rooms light fixture is messed up and you may need a electrician to look at it, tell her to stay away from the switch it could be dangerous. This has worked for me for a little while but I'm not sure how much longer I can milk it.

1) You're in an accident. The paramedics show up and start working on you. Everything goes dark. You find yourself floating naked staring down at your body. The paramedics say "His heart's stopped," and keep working on your body. You start to float away, but you say, "My lights!" and reach down and grab 3 of your EDC lights from your body.

You find yourself floating down a long smoky tunnel. You hear voices and see shapes at the end. There's a light shining from the other end and you're drifting towards it. You look at the light and say, "That's pathetic. What is that, an old Luxeon?" You turn on the dimmest of your EDC lights and point it down the tunnel.

You stop floating towards the light. You hear the voices say, "Wow, that's the most beautiful light I've ever seen." You see your dead ancestors floating toward you oohing and aahing and staring spellbound into your light.

You hear a voice from the end of the tunnel telling your ancestors, "Don't go into the light."

You find yourself drifting back down the tunnel and wake up looking at the paramedics. You quickly check to see that your flashlights are OK. The paramedic says, "Man that was amazing! Nothing was working at all, and all of a sudden, your heart started beating and you woke up."

You take a close look at the paramedic, and ask, "Say, is that the new Polarion? Can I see it?"

2) You tell one of your friends this story and they say, "Pictures or it didn't happen."

If once you start down the light path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
